	Another trick is to copy some files into the folder (ones that you
don't want anymore - or duplicate files), then trash the lot.  Having done
this, the folder should depart without protest.

	The reason that this sometimes works is because the file count (#
files in the folder) can go negative (feature?), copying files in will bring
it positive and back to something sensible.

	You could also use DiskExpress in its examine volume mode, this will
tidy things up - just hope that you don't see any grim reapers !
